WayPoint Pastoral Transition

After more than two decades of steady, faithful ministry at WayPoint, Pastor Tim believes it’s time to begin a transition out of the Lead Pastor role. While this is a bittersweet moment for our church family, we trust God is leading us step by step.

The Next Step

As we look to WayPoint’s future during this transition, our first step is to organize ourselves in a way that supports healthy ministry on the Key Peninsula and beyond.   With that in mind, at our annual meeting (September 21 // 2pm // WPN), we’ll vote on proposed changes to our constitution.   Below, you can review a copy of our constitution with proposed changes and an organizational flow chart that helps us to understand how we work together as one church in two locations.

The elders recognize that WayPoint South has grown up and is continuing to mature to the point that we see this as a true partnership.  We don’t believe these changes will be functionally disruptive.  They are intended to foster the good things we have going (shared governance, preaching schedule, resources, ideas, mission, etc) while allowing us to make campus-specific ministry decisions easier.  

If the changes are approved, two things would follow:
1. Pastor Mark would officially be the Lead Pastor for WayPoint South.
2. We would begin the process of searching for a Lead Pastor for WayPoint North.
